Recommendation # 5 Office of the Correctional Investigator 2015 Annual Report

December 2, 2015

CSC establish a standing expert advisory committee on FASD to establish prevalence, provide advice on screening, assessment, treatment and program models for FASD-affected offenders. The Committee should recommend a FASD strategy for CSC’s Executive Committee in the next fiscal year. (i.e. 2016-17)

As of 2015, CSC still does not have a reliable and validated system to screen, assess and diagnose FASD Disorders among newly admitted federally sentenced offenders. (Correctional Investigator 2015 Report)
